Spotlight Story

What’s your story?

Shine with a Spotlight

A McHenry Life Spotlight Story provides local businesses and organizations a way to share their unique stories. We’ll sit down with you through an interview process to learn about your unique story to share with the world…or at least other McHenry County residents.

And being featured in a Spotlight Story is completely free!

Looking for brand visibility?

Then you might want to check out Guide Sponsorship, either on its own or in addition to a Spotlight Story. It’s an affordable way to boost visibility, and some guides may get even more views than your Spotlight Story!

Every business owner I come across I always recommend McHenry Life for advertising. Brian goes the extra mile for small business owners and it shows that he cares about growing businesses in McHenry and surrounding areas.

My business also received a spotlight story and the whole experience was great. I am not a writer in any form and Brian was able to capture my whole story and tell it in such a way that kept people reading. Not only do I love advertising with McHenry Life, it is also my go to for when I need local recommendations for food, services, and even events!

Want to thank Mchenry Life for everything they did to help our little business adventure for me and my son. Their listing and awesome spotlight article on Chillntub helped get us noticed by more and more customers.

Brian was great to work with, his professionalism and writing skills were way more beyond our expectations for the article. Would highly recommend any and all local businesses to subscribe and reach out to Brian.
